25 February 2011The resources on this website are designed for anyone involved in Indigenous teaching in Australian Universities - or beyond.

• Teaching exemplars based on research interviews
• Materials from a 2009 Forum on Indigenous Learning and
• Teaching Supporting resources

We define 'Indigenous teaching' broadly:

• As a teacher, you might be of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent yourself, or not
• You might be teaching Indigenous students; or you might be teaching Indigenous curriculum to non-Indigenous students
• You might just want to learn more about this fast-growing area of teaching in Australia today

One of the features on the site is a set of ‘research-based exemplars for good practice’. For the data collection, 26 Indigenous and non-Indigenous university teachers across New South Wales and Victoria were asked a number of questions about their teaching.

The exemplars and resources on this site were developed as an outcome of a Teaching Fellowship awarded by the Australian Learning & Teaching Council (ALTC) to Dr Christine Asmar at the University of Melbourne. Christine's work has been in close collaboration with an Advisory Group.

We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional owners of this land, and pay our respects to the Elders past and present.
